Lab Software Package:

iMac Studio-
We have a small, nine station digital media studio featuring Apple iMac G5 computers with pentium processors. These computers are primarily used for media editing video, audio, photos, music, etc. We pretty much make use of the iLife software suite with these computers. Any web based tools such as wikis, google docs, voicethread, etc that we work on may be accessed from these computer. New for the 07-08 school year-students may print from these computers and even access their files saved on their home directory on our Windows servers.
